I needed an oil change, new tires, and a new shop to do these, so I chose Tveten's. My parents had taken their cars there and were always satisfied.
The 30-point inspection was thorough and relevant to my car's needs and usage. And it relieved some concerns I'd had, because it was accurate and they only recommended work that actually needed to be done a little bit "down the road". This will be my car's new repair home! 😀😀😀😀😀

After chasing around Pierce County trying one mechanic and repair shop after another since 2015 to solve a recurring mechanical failure I took my van to Tveten's Auto Clinic in Lakewood, WA. Not only did they solve the problem but did so in record time. From all the staff, front office to mechanics in back I found enthusiastic support and great services from every staff person I met there. The owner, Scott has automotive DNA in his blood, Nichole is always on top of progress and kept me informed every step of the way. Ray who manages the shop is well informed. Together they create a great place to have all my work done with a personal and friendly environment. Thanks guys.

I found this service clinic for my car when I moved to Lakewood. The responsiveness of the personnel is wonderful. I especially was impressed with Nichole and her ability to anticipate my needs. She gave me a loner car when my vehicle was kept overnight and provided a ride when the service was short=time.
Work done was great and communication by service staff clear.
Thanks to all.

Had purchased a used car and took to Tveten's for a check up. They did a wonderful job of going through the car. As the car had been well taken care of there were only two items to be done -- wiper blades and a new oil switch. As usual all the employees were kind and helpful. I started using Tveten's about 10 years ago and have always been well pleased with their work. They deserve 10 stars.

Great family run business. When you move to an area you need a few good things: a good doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, and a good, trustworthy mechanic. Tveten's Auto Clinic is your place. Scott is a third generation owner. They make you feel like family and will do the right thing. I highly recommend Tveten's Auto Clinic.
